Globalization and the Decolonial Option: Readings

Hi everyone,
Here are the assigned readings for the Cultural Studies special issue on "Globalization and the Decolonial Option" :

1) "The Epistemic Decolonial Turn : Beyond Political Economy Paradigms" by Ramon Grosfoguel

2) "The Imperial Colonial Chronotope" by Madina Tlostanova

I am also assigning a short but insightful reading on decolonial thought, co-written for Social Text by Rolando Vasquez and Walter Mignolo. It gives a good sense of where the decolonial project is coming from and what its aims are:

3) "Decolonial Aesthesis: Colonial Wounds/Decolonial Healings" by Walter Mignolo and Robert Vasquez.
